friebe, der klügste und schönste deutsche pop-hedonist geht zurück zu seinen wurzeln, punk, wave und chansons - und zieht aus ihnen blühende wundergewächse, wie das episch- euphorische titelstück mit scott-walker-würdigen streichersätzen. auch live wird in friebischer manier wieder ein feuerwerk aus wortwitz und schlechter laune geboten, musikalisch untermalt von chris imler die coole sau, der der show als drum- und sampler-wizzard, sowie vorzeige-dandy glanz und fahrt verleiht. kommt, staunt und jault.

with their cinematic music and john carpenters cover albums, we wondered when a real soundtrack by zombie zombie is going to be out? well, here it is now , the two zombies cosmic neman and etienne jaumet finally sign their first film music for the first feature film from director , narimane mari, loubia hamra (bloody beans), to be released in spring 2014. and we found them there, where we do not expect, because it s not a horror movie, but a free movie, a journey of a group of children from a district of algiers during the war of algeria, who becomes aware of life and death.director narimane mari talks about her experience with zombie zombie and creation of the soundtrack for her movie:-i really wanted the music to be as blood flow of images and that is what it is. sharp, dull, full of strange noises, inner or surging, harmonious or disturbed by noise disorder, which allows to read beyond the visual narrative. we are in the bowels of childhood and it shakes us up when we let our-selves be takeover by the living: the profusion. i didn’t want to make a movie where psychology and reason rule and dominate until our senses are weakened, but a movie that we experience with the body and it is them who made it possible, this total immersion.

fontarrians debut effort for berlin-based label antime offers a glimpse into a fragile yet eclectic spectrum consisting of loopy vocal bits, slowly unwinding washes of dream like ambience, distinctively (s)tumbling almost jazzy percussions and an ever-present, blissful warmth. the latter emanates from and sucks you into what seems to be a world of its own. like a lo-fi attempt at capturing momentary twists of the heart through 10 significantly diverse tracks - imperfect nonetheless - the album feels like a mixtape you ve set out to record for someone special, but somehow never got around to.

jay shepheard liefert gleich zwei remixes des stueckes, eine etwas entsaettigte variante mit synthmotiv, die die gesangsharmonie einfach auf den kopf stellt und den falsett-anteil in den vordergrund schiebt und eine fassung, die zwischen floorgroove und melancholischem gitarrenseufzen die genaue mitte sucht. ein aehnlicher ansatz ist auch im death on the balcony edit zu beobachten, der die zarten arrangements des originals aufgreift und sich unter beihilfe eines treibenden bass-grooves etwas entschiedener in richtung floor ausrichtet.

he/at (pronounced “heat”) is a new project from an established uk producer. this is the second he/at ep to date, following on from the *a death in the family ep* release earlier this summer. limited to a vinyl-only pressing of 500 (which sold out immediately), it was not repressed, bringing he/at to the attention of the techno community. *a terrible misunderstanding ep* contains 4 tracks of fresh, raw, bass-heavy techno as tempered and toughened as it is controlled, as melodic as it is intricate. this ep continues to build upon the rich history of proper techno from middle england, and also unfolds the next chapter in the rise of he/at…

it has been four long years since noahs last album, blind alignments, was released here on thoughtless, and much has happened since: extensive tour dates, numerous singles and collaborations, a lingering break-up, a move across the atlantic, 80 releases here on preds thoughtless imprint, tests of new music technology, and the sudden death of his father, all this and more transpired as his latest full-length effort, third culture, took shape. traversing these highs and lows, the result breaks new ground for pred, building on the dub-inflected techno and house that fills his discography, yet reaching far beyond anything we have heard from him before.

melbournian multi-hyphenate luke brown has his hands in a lot of pots, having dug deep in his dj duo with ricardo ramos, leslie salvador, as well as his ongoing death-disco / dark-synth revisionist twosome, negativ magick. but the past few years have found him exploring more classic, scruffed-up analog house terrain via his latest alias les level, and his six-track debut is purist uncut club gold. bookended by a pair of of mixes of the stellar neo-chicago anthem *house of need*, the rest of the tracks prowl through a host of suave, shuffling, strictly rhythmic variations, from the 3 am skyline seducer *smooth sailing* to the pumping, jazzy jack-groove *working nights*. an expert assemblage by a nuanced craftsman with style to burn.

hardly a stranger to the scene, ash moses first made a name for himself in dj booths across his hometown of sydney. it wasnt long before the bonafide musician crossed the dj booth threshold into the realm of production under the tunnel signs moniker and, eventually, as one-half of the death strobe label, where he released his debut sun ep

misty conditions is a project that started off when henry collins and richard wilson met up in henrys studio a couple of years ago and jammed for a few days non-stop, enjoying the process thoroughly. the connection became so good in this period that the duo developed a fluent understanding of how each other worked, ending up as a project made across the internet, while henry was living in france and richard in la. they cross pollinated by developing what each did best, henry making and creating banks of samples and richard creating software and effects to cut up and re-sample, passing the tracks back and forth, essentially until they felt finished.

last known trajectory proudly presents inkamera, the solo project of the multi-talented victoria lukas, who of course you may well be familiar with from her previous work as zerkalo, performing alongside the legendary gerald donald. here, the first inkamera release demonstrates victoria’s clear understanding of what constitutes a solid and balanced musical project – ‘superpartners (photon photino) ‘ and ‘&#1089,,,&#1084,,,&#1077,,,&#1088,,,&#1090,,,&#1100,,, &#1085,,,&#1077,,, &#1089,,,&#1091,,,&#1097,,,&#1077,,,&#1089,,,&#1090,,,&#1074,,,&#1091,,,&#1077,,,&#1090,,, (death doesn’t exist) ‘ are both pacey, electro drivers with a distinct european feel, the former being quite upbeat, while the latter rendering a slightly darker more sinister air. ‘i can speak’ provides a volatile contrast with its crazy, freestyle electro beats and rhythms, whilst both ‘human terms’ and ‘potentia’ showcase victoria’s quite distinctive, totally unmistakable, seductively hypnotic vocal to a backdrop of gorgeous electronics. a superb solo debut from lukas – let us hope that there are many more to follow.

for those who know the story of the bridge wars, there is some irony found in the fact that scott la rock, representing the south bronx, was born in queens, though he did relocate to the south bronx at a very young age. after graduating high school la rock spent four years in vermont at castleton college where he earned varsity letters in basketball, but more importantly for the world of hip hop he became more and more enamored with music. on graduation he returned to new york and began working as a dj and as a social worker at the franklin armory mens shelter in the bronx. it was at the shelter that scott met kris parker and the duo formed boogie down productions. the rest, as they say, is history. roughly a year after the tragic shooting death of boogie down productions founder, dj and producer scott la rock b boy records and krs-one issued this special remix album, a man and his music (remixes from around the world). billed as a limited edition collectors classic the project was released in a limited run – briefly available in the 90s – and now after years of being unavailable reappears as a tribute to one of the genres early pioneers.

due to its black color, the raven was often a harbinger of death in western culture, brought to you in conjunction with dark deeds. but according to native american medicine teachings, light comes out of darkness and the color black is associated with the source of all energy, creating new realities - with the raven as its messenger. silky raven, namely jakob seidensticker and henrik raabe, have dedicated their work to this process with projects like the havana boys, seidensticker/salour and wareika. on the remix duties we first have october, who delivers an homage to the lfo-influenced sound of the 90ies, raw and pure. and second we have a remix by visionquests shaun reeves and jay haze, who join forces to create a dubtechno- influenced pearl, perfectly rounding up the package.

three years ago, baths dropped his startlingly beautiful debut, cerulean. released on anticon, the record blurred the line between post-modern pop and the la beat scene with devastating emotional clarity. its tone was as celestial as its album title, taken from a shade of blue typically used to describe the sky.
cerulean earned year-end best-of recognition from pitchfork and the onions a.v. club and established chatsworth-raised will wiesenfeld as one of the finest young composers (and falsettos) in los angeles. his sophomore album, obsidian, finds him emerging as one of the most complete artists of his generation. as you might expect, the name hints at darker overtones. the mood is shimmering and pitch-black, the lovely blood flow has turned into lava.

part 3 of the emotional relish series sees robi insinnas work remixed by a quartet of british producers. death in vegas overseer richard fearless tackles >be loved< starting with an ethereal loop that builds on top of itself before the beat kicks in and the remix heads for the dark (leather) dancefloor. mr andy blake channels the collective spirits of the slits, the pop group and killing joke on his space echo laden remix of >adolescent sex< whilst weatherall acolyte scott fraser returns to the relish cause with a typically chugging rendition of >turning< that has found favour from croatia boat parties to the catwalks of paris s/s 2013 no less (check youtube for evidence). cosey club founder richard d clouston slows down the tempo for a brooding, mind bending take on >blue girls<.

gravetemple was formed in 2006 as a side-project of the band sunn o))) by oren ambarchi, stephen o malley and attila csihar. the group formed initially to tour in israel summer 06, creating several recordings which eventually became the holy down album, which was released on southern lord recordings in 2007. at the time of the israel tour, the lebanon war started and was in action. in summer 08 the trio reformed together with the addition of australian drummer matt skitz sanders for a short european tour culminating at a headlining performance at supersonic festival in birmingham. in late 2009 the original trio reconvened for a special one-off concert at londons institute of contemporary arts. april 2013 marks the first set of live action since that period, and a new chapter in the ongoing system of the related network.
ambient/ruin was created with the 2008 quartet, elements of tape collage, concrete, field recordings blend within a strong geographically diverse (parts were recorded in japan, australia, paris and israel) suite of heavy minimalist/maximalist music, black/death metal and drone. the culmination of these efforts become the music, literally, of sadistik exekution meeting phill niblock.

limited edition of 500, housed in debossed sleeve, individually hand numbered.
the first in a series of limited edition 12 inches aimed at the dancefloor. ivvvo, a young producer from portugal with previous form on opal tapes and is closely affiliated with the photonz crew - the future ep presents his most exciting work yet. six transmissions long - vinyl scarred, abrasive and heartbroken, ivvvo reaches into early uk rave music for inspiration, but twists the end-game.

londons powell works with opposites, in a way that is delightfully disconcerting. his tracks, on the surface, seem relatively uniform - but listen closer, or at punishing volume, and they teem with detail: wiry guitars, sinister yelps, synth figures that fizz like bubbles through sparkling water. across two eps in 2012 for his own diagonal label and one for death of rave in 2013, he has established himself as one of the uks most unique electronic musicians.

straight out of a midlands bunker, we bring you he/at, and this 4 track debut hits hard.
no clue yet who has actually produced these tracks, but this is an accomplished ep to say the least, showing serious range and floor-filling sensibilities with an experimental edge and a serious bottom end. 4 tracks of fresh, raw, intense techno, tried and tested by a select few that have it.
